Installers beware! This package is a fiasco and the upstream Git repository basically has bunch of binary blobs in it that do strange things. I'm working on cleaning up the packaging some but the upstream behavior is egregious. Wash your /opt/depot_tools directory out with soap and bleach when done.

depot_tools is installed in /opt/depot_tools/. This directory is not in $PATH by default, so make sure to export PATH=/opt/depot_tools:$PATH before using it. Also, this directory has root permissions, so either use it as root, or if you want to use it as your currect user:

# groupadd depot_tools
# gpasswd -a $(whoami) depot_tools
# setfacl -m g:depot_tools:rwX /opt/depot_tools/

Then re-login as your current user or log your terminal in to the newly created group:

$ newgrp depot_tools

Permissions may be incorrect after installing. I resorted to "sudo gclient sync" as and it worked, but the script told me running depot tools as root is sad and well... it's not wrong.

Unflagged it as this package is still working for me. On the other hand, seems there's a bug in AUR that I didn't receive out-of-date notification mails. [1] Please leave comments below instead. [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2016-November/032911.html

git is also a run time dependency

@pancakemixerer It should be fixed now, thanks!

Build fails because gcl and drover have been removed. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git/+/92bec4f56f991d35ddcf9c4d8a0bdd8ce1b10735

@yan12125: Added! Thanks for stepping up offering to help :-)

I use depot-tools from time to time. Could you add me as a co-maintinaer? I'll try to keep it updated as much as possible. Thanks!

aperez commented on 2016-06-07 11:29 (UTC)

@yan12125: Thanks for the updated package; I have added you as contributor in the PKGBUILD header. Unfortunately, I don't use depot_tools that much anymore, and I have been using my free time for taking care of other packages which are more important to me. If somebody wants to volunteer to help maintain depot-tools-git, please let me know and I will be happy to add you as a co-maintainer in AUR :-)
